Heart of the Home Party - Roosters and Chickens

Dear Ones!! We have 109 party goers this morning! Oh, I just about can't stand it! So if you want to join the Roos and Chicks party you have until this evening! So grab those little chicken legs and come on! I'll draw two names and reveal the winners on Friday morning! Woo Hooness. I just love this stuff! :)

**************************************

Hello, Dear Ones! It's time, it's really time for our Heart of the Home - Roosters and Chickens Party! Are you excited? I sure am!
Thank you all who have posted our little party button on your blogs! It just made my tiny heart skip a beat when I would pop over for a visit and see it!

Okay, come on into my kitchen where you are greeted by our host yard bird. :)

He is really my favorite Rooster as he was given to me by my Mr. Precious years ago. I've placed him up on a pedestal, well a glass cake stand, and poked fruits and greens all around him. He's really loving all of the attention.

Now I would never have a party and not have some treats for you. I have some peach iced tea already poured and have baked you some cookies! Take a couple, please.

I didn't have a Rooster or Chicken cookie cutter but I did have an olden bird cookie cutter from my childhood, so just pretend this is a yard bird.

I'll just show you a few little yard birds around my kitchen. This is one of my favorites - my little olden Rooster spice set! Isn't it sweet? The container was just a wooden nasty color and I spray painted it a burgundy color.

Did you see these little darling teeny tiny pair of yard birds that are sitting atop my little spice set? Well, my sweet blogging friend Ceekay from Thinking of Home gave them to me!

Hi Shelia, I am so happy to join the fun today, I love your vignettes, your kitchen is beautiful. I love your chicken cookies, and a glass of peach tea sounds wonderful. Thanks for being a sweet hostess, xo,

Shelia, I want you to know that your party is the first thing I've done in eons. Love you nad love your roos and chicks. I want one of those cookies. Do you think you might be able to mail it to me??? ;-)

Sheila, I could not get my rooster youngins together in time! I'm so bad! I always love looking at your kitchen...love the countertops, the faucet and the colors. Of course, I love all the your Roosterware and that little yard bird cutter is perfect I think!!!

I love your party. Thanks for the cookies and tea. I got a kick out of the chicken cookie cutter. Had fun with it as a child. Fun to see all the different roosters and hens. My mother had a collection of roosters and I hope my sister saved them.

Hello Shelia,I found out about your link party only a few days ago, and I really wanted to join too. Your collection of roosters and chickens is beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful party, tea, and cookies.

Shelia -- what a fun party. Your roosters are lovely and I will take a few cookies. We must have had that same cookie cutter when I was growing up because it is really familiar. Thanks for hosting. Joni

Shelia,What lovely Roosters, Hens and Chickens you have, dear! Your host yard bird from Mr. Precious is just stunning, indeed! Pick a favorite? That would be your olden spice rack. Thank you for being the sweetest hostess in Blog Land and for extending your invitation to On Crooked Creek. Now, I must go and mingle with the other guests! Fondly,Pat

Fun, fun, fun! And what a turn out for your party. Sorry I'm running a bit late tonight. You know how difficult it is to herd chickens! ;-)Thanks for sharing all your fine feathered friends and hosting this party. The cookies are darling. ~ Sarah

Thank you for hosting such a fun party, you're so wonderful and lovable to do this and I so enjoyed your post and also thank you for the chance on the beautiful and generous give away! Love, FABBY

I was visiting Mrs. Magpie (Quintessential Magpie) and so glad to hear she's feeling better and blogging - saw your party, thought I'd drop by and see what it's about. Oh, I'm wondering if I can swing a post between now and tomorrow. I'm not sure. Will have to see. In the meantime - love your roosters!!! Jenn

My kitchen used to be Roosters and Chickens until my home flooded back in 2008...I have 2 chickens left to slow above the frig but for the most part a Dutch theme has its place also...thanks for the place to share...Tootsie of Oregon

I've been so out of the loop this summer, Shelia, I didn't even know your party was happening again. Bummer! I enjoyed seeing your wonderful collection of fowl feathered friends & will check out the others shortly.

I did give a shout-out about your party in my post this morning. Maybe I can get my act together quickly enough to join in, too.

This is a great idea for a party. I had no idea chickens and roosters are so popular! I only have two items in my entire home, but I have enjoyed seeing others' posts. Thanks, Shelia, for hosting this fun party!

Hi. I stumbled upon this party late and dashed of to round up my brood and do a quick post. Possibly the fastest posts I have done, thus far. I just couldn't miss it! Thanks for having us all over to roost about. and adore your collection as well!

Shelia, your peach tea was delish! I had two glasses, couldn't help myself. I also ate three cookies, but whose counting? ;)Love all your yard birds! Ceekay sent you some cuties. I especially love the big centerpiece you created...impressive and beautiful!Happy HOTH Party!

What a fun party, sweet lady! And I can tell that everyone is enjoying themselves. You are such a dear to do this!I am late to the party because my computer started acting up and it got stuck so many times, I rebooted it and then it wouldn't come back, I thought I was going to scream, but I didn't and I got it posted!Love and hugs, Cindy

Shelia,Oh, how I LOVE coming over here! Everything is so BIG and beautiful. I have always had a special place in my heart for roosters. They really make a kitchen cozy and inviting. The peach iced tea and the sprinkled cookies look so good. Thank you for giving us a tour of your kitchen...it is wonderful. You put a smile on my face today.~Sheri at Red Rose Alley

Shelia, thank you for hosting this fun party!! It has been so entertaining visiting in so many wonderful kitchens and dining rooms. I've gotten some good ideas for decorating from you and many other talented ladies. I also want to thank you for visiting my blog, that means a lot to me because I know you are a busy person.

I haven't been doing tablescapes for a bit, but when I saw your party, I wanted to show the two rooster and chicken ones that I did a few months ago. If you want, you can take off my first two submissions that say "K. Matthews" and "Kathy's Pick's" ... I combined them all into one post on "Oregon Gifts". Thanks so much for hostessing; it is fun to see all you ladies again.

Shelia, What a fabulous party you've had today. I'm so sorry I missed it but next time for sure. Your roos and chicks are so sweet. I love the special one, with the greenery on the stand. Great display. Nice sweets for your guest too. I adore your kitchen, its so homey and I love the white cabinets and granite, gorgeous. I'm sure you'll have a relaxing evening after such a great party.

I have robins, owls, chickadees, cardinals, herons, eagles, ducks, peacocks, and even bats...but no chickens. :( Looking at everyones entries makes me want to go find some!!!Thanks for the great linky party, what a turnout!!

Darn, I just got wind of this fun link up from my friend Ames last night and I have Roo's and Chicks galore in my kitchen. Wish you were doing this for more than 24 hours...just don't have the time to get my post up before the deadline but I'll post anyway tomorrow.
